Regardless of ever evolving state laws regarding medical and recreational use of marijuana, medical students need to be aware that it still against federal law to possess or use even small amounts of marijuana. In addition, medical students should be cognizant of how health care facilities will be handling positive THC drug screening results. For medical students training or shadowing in health care settings, most of these facilities will require drug screening, including THC, as a prerequisite for participation in a course, clerkship or clinical elective. Medical students are required to complete clinical experiences across many institutions/affiliates in order to graduate, and positive THC test results may prohibit students from completing these experiences due to health care facility policies. Thus, medical students may face negative consequences for a positive THC drug screening result, including the inability to complete the requirements for the MD degree. Finally, while CBD, or cannabidiol, should not produce a positive THC drug screening result, it can be difficult for consumers of these widely available over the counter products to be certain about the purity of what they are consuming, particularly as it relates to the content of THC. Purchasing CBD is federally legal as long as it does not contain more than 0.3 percent THC. The The information regarding marijuana, THC and CBD provided in this note here is not, and is not intended to constitute, legal or clinical advice. You should not act or refrain from acting solely on the basis of this information in this note without first seeking legal or clinical advice that is applicable and appropriate to your particular situation.
